The Shieldaig Bag Project
| Local people have overseen the production and distribution of an eco-friendly, ethically produced shopping bag for use of local people and visitors. Each permanent household in Shieldaig will get a free bag, and further bags will be on sale at local sites. Their use will help to minimise the use of plastic bags. Local children have created the pictures on the bags with the help of a local cultural coordinator and the design was printed locally by Tery McCowan of Clement Design The free bags were paid for from village funds. |

We obtained our organic and fairly traded cotton bags from Based in Bristol, this is a workers' cooperative that creates employment in the southern Indian village of K.V. Kuppam, and whose profits are used to benefit the people of this Indian village through their charity, the South India Rural Development Trust. The workers receive a fair wage and secure income. The pictures are reproduced by kind permission of Bishopston Trading Company. |
Tery McCowan (Clement) prints the bags, using local children's design.
